  You can’t. Most modern web browsers don’t pay any attention to the so-called “no right click” and anyone can take a screenshot of your image.

  Keep your images to the smallest size possible for viewing on your website by resizing and optimizing them before uploading them to your website. Unless your theme requires a larger featured image, a good overall size to aim for is a max of 1600 pixels wide.

  For your theme, Sela have a look at the image size recommendations at the bottom of the theme showcase page under “Quick Specs.”

  Additionally, you can also add a copyright notice in a text widget in your theme’s widget area.
